Keep Safe • Keep your original, signed will in a safe and accessible place, such as a fireproof
box in your home.

have access.

However, if your original, signed will cannot be found upon your death, the
probate court may raise questions as to whether you intentionally destroyed your
original will, and may not accept a copy of your will as proof of your wishes.

previously made by me.
Article I: Declarations
A. Executor - I nominate my friend Hassan Ali to serve as Executor of my estate and to carry out the
instructions in this Will. If Hassan Ali is unable or unwilling to serve or continue to serve, I nominate my
friend Sabeel Irfan to be the Executor of my estate and to carry out the instructions in this Will.
B. Bond & Court Supervision - No bond or other security shall be required of my Executor or Digital
Executor in any jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by the laws of the state in which my Will is probated,
my Executor shall have the authority to administer my estate without court supervision, and no action shall
be required in any court in relation to the settlement of my estate other than the probating and recording of
my Will.
C. Executor Powers - I grant to my Executor the following powers:

otherwise deal with real or personal property;

Executor the power to have access to the catalogue and the contents of all electronic communications (as
defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2510(8)) of mine, as well as access, use, manage, close and control my Digital
Assets and Digital Accounts. If I have left a writing describing my wishes with respect to my Digital Assets
and Digital Accounts, I request that my Executor follow my wishes, as expressed in that writing. If no such
writing is located within thirty (30) days of my death, my Executor shall administer and distribute my
Digital Assets and Digital Accounts in his or her discretion in accordance with the remaining provisions of
this Will. This authorization is intended to be construed to be lawful consent under the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act of 1986, as amended; the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986, as
amended; and any other applicable federal or state data privacy law or criminal law. “Digital Asset” means

A. I give to my friend Sabeel Irfan all of my interest in Book 'T'. If, however, Sabeel Irfan fails to survive me,
this gift shall instead be distributed to Sabeel Irfan’s descendants who survive me by right of representation,
or if no such descendants survive me, this gift shall lapse.
All of the residue of my estate shall be distributed to the following beneficiaries in the noted percentages:
A. 100% shall be distributed to my friend Sabeel Irfan. If Sabeel Irfan does not survive me, this share of the
residue of my estate shall instead be distributed to Sabeel Irfan’s descendants who survive me by right of
representation.
If all of the above dispositions in this Article V fail, I give all of the residue of my estate to my Heirs.
A. Severability - If any provision of this Will is held to be unenforceable or invalid, the remaining provisions
shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permissible under governing law.
B. Survivorship - No beneficiary shall be deemed to have survived me unless such beneficiary remains alive
or remains in existence, as the case may be, on the thirtieth (30th) day after my death. Any person who is
prohibited by law from inheriting property from me shall be treated as having failed to survive me.
C. Payment of Taxes - All estate, inheritance, or similar taxes (including interest and penalties thereon) arising
in connection with my death with respect to any property included in my gross estate for the purpose of
calculating such taxes, whether or not such property passes under my Will, shall be paid out of the residue
of my estate without apportionment. To the extent the residue of my estate is insufficient to pay such taxes,
then any excess taxes shall be paid on a pro rata basis from all of the assets passing by reason of my death.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no portion of any estate, inheritance or similar taxes arising in connection
with my death shall be apportioned or charged to property qualifying fully for the charitable deduction for
federal estate tax purposes; provided, however, to the extent that the assets passing by reason of my death
that do not qualify for the charitable deduction are insufficient for the payment of such taxes, then any

references shall include as then living descendants, with respect to any provision of this Will,
descendants who have been conceived at any specific point in time relevant to such provision and
who thereafter survive birth. Except as provided in this Subdivision, below, an adopted child and
such adopted child’s descendants by blood or adoption shall be considered under this Will to be
descendants of the adopting parent or of either of the adopting parents. Notwithstanding anything in
this Will to the contrary, the following persons shall not be included in the definition of “descendants”
for any purposes: (i) any person who is adopted (by anyone other than me) after reaching age
eighteen (18), and (ii) any person who is the descendant (whether by blood or adoption) of such
person.
2. References to “Heirs” shall refer to those persons who would inherit separate personal property from
the person designated under the statutes of descent and distribution of the state in which my Will is
probated, if such person had died intestate and unmarried at such time. A distribution to “Heirs” is a
distribution in the shares and manner prescribed under such statutes.
Signature:
4. The term “executor” in this Will is synonymous with and includes the terms “personal
representative”, “executrix”, “trustee”, and “independent executor”, and the context shall dictate.
G. Discretion - Whenever in this Will an action is authorized in the discretion of my Executor or Digital
Executor, the term “discretion” shall mean the reasonable discretion of such Executor or Digital Executor.
H. Spendthrift Provisions - Prior to the actual receipt of property by any beneficiary, no property (income or
principal) distributable under this Will shall, voluntarily or involuntarily, be subject to anticipation or
assignment by any beneficiary, or to the attachment by or to the interference or control of any creditor or
assignee of any beneficiary, or taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt
or liability of any beneficiary, and any attempted transfer or encumbrance of any interest in such property by
any beneficiary hereunder prior to distribution shall be void.
I. Beneficiary Receiving Public Benefits - If any beneficiary (the “Beneficiary”) under my Will is receiving
or, in the sole determination of my Executor, is likely eligible to receive, within twelve (12) months, public
benefits based on financial need or disability, my Executor is authorized to withhold outright distribution to
the Beneficiary. Instead, the Beneficiary’s share shall pass in a separate trust to be held and administered, as
follows:
1. My Executor shall select an appropriate trustee for any trust hereunder, including themself. In no
event shall the trustee of any trust hereunder be the Beneficiary of such trust.
2. The trustee shall have the sole discretion to pay to (or apply for the benefit of) the Beneficiary as
much of the net income and/or principal of the trust as the trustee deems necessary or advisable for
assistance with support, care, education, and activities that supplement other government benefits
which would ordinarily be received by or are being or will be received by the Beneficiary. The
trustee shall have the sole discretion to determine what disbursements shall be made for the benefit of
the Beneficiary. This trust shall not be considered a general support trust. Any net income not
distributed shall be accumulated and added to principal. The trustee’s discretion shall include the
discretion to withhold any distributions to (or for the benefit of) the Beneficiary, if any such
distribution would jeopardize eligibility for, or limit the types or amounts of assistance available to,
the Beneficiary under Medicaid, the Supplemental Security Income Program, the TANF program, or
other government programs based on the Beneficiary’s financial need or disability.
